The Premier League is filled with famous football stars, but many players don’t get the attention they deserve.
These players have been very important to their teams but have often been overlooked when people talk about the greats of the game.
Let’s talk about some of the Premier League’s most underrated players:
Jermain DefoeJermain Defoe has an impressive record, scoring 162 goals in 496 matches, yet he’s often left out of conversations about the league’s best players. Despite being among the top ten scorers in the league’s history, alongside icons like Thierry Henry and Robbie Fowler, Defoe’s achievements are sometimes overlooked, perhaps because he didn’t play for the very top teams.
Park Ji-sungWhile stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were the faces of Manchester United, Park Ji-sung was a crucial but less celebrated member of the team. Praised by Sir Alex Ferguson for his dependability, especially in crucial games, Park’s strategic discipline and effort were key to United’s success, helping him earn four Premier League titles during his time at the club.
Jimmy Floyd HasselbainkJimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, a remarkable goal scorer who won two Premier League Golden Boots, is another player who didn’t always get the recognition he deserved. He scored 127 goals during his time with Leeds, Chelsea, and Charlton, including two consecutive seasons scoring 23 goals for Chelsea.
Gareth BarryGareth Barry made a record 653 Premier League appearances yet is rarely mentioned among England’s football greats. His consistent performance over two decades with Aston Villa, Manchester City, Everton, and West Brom helped his teams immensely, earning him both a Premier League and an FA Cup title.
Olivier GiroudOlivier Giroud, known as a traditional target man, scored 90 goals in 255 Premier League games for Arsenal and Chelsea. Despite his ability to score incredible goals, like his award-winning scorpion kick, Giroud often didn’t get much praise from fans or experts.
Gareth SouthgateBefore becoming famous as England’s manager, Gareth Southgate was one of the Premier League’s top defenders. He had 136 clean sheets in 426 games, was consistently reliable as a centre-back, and led Middlesbrough to win the 2004 League Cup.
Kolo ToureKolo Toure, bought for just £150,000 by Arsene Wenger, was vital in Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ season and later played significant roles for Manchester City and Liverpool. Despite being part of teams full of well-known players, Toure’s strong performances often went unnoticed.
